I’m slowly getting through the Japan trip pictures. Here’s a few from Arashiyama, located in Western Kyoto. It’s a lot of walking through the area, but it’s beautiful and well worth it. Going down the Bamboo Grove is especially wonderful and is a great escape from the sun’s heat too!
These cats are everywhere! They’re like the dancing Santa, etc. but cuter and stranger. I saw them first in Arashiyama and saw them regularly at other tourist locations. There’s also another cat that starts to squirm and rotate its tale when picked up. My sister was against me purchasing one.
Tonight’s my last night in Japan after 11 days split between Yokosuka, Kyoto, and Tokyo. I’ve wanted to go to Japan ever since age 7, Dragon Ball Z, and Pokemon, so coming here was quite fulfilling.
I’ll update with some photos and more details (I just wanted to post while I’m still here), but now I have to sleep to catch an early flight to the Philippines! I haven’t been there since I was 3, so I’m very excited to go back.
I love Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go and Remains of the Day. The trailer and score are lovely.
HD trailer is also up at Apple.
